Lights Out in Burnley for First World War Centenary

The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.

A national Lights Out event took place across the country in remembrance of those who fought in the Great War.

Our reporter Jessie Phillips was in Burnley for the event.
